Same here.
I originally got an Atari 2600 back in 1981, and it was great. But after watching the TV show "Whiz Kids", about a bunch of cool hackers, I WANTED a computer.

So in 82 or 83, they got me a TI-99/4A. The game I remember most is "Hunt the Wumpus" and Zork.

Then by 84 I wanted something more advanced, and got a C-64 with cassette drive. Nothing slower in the planet, and eventually complained enough that I got a disk drive! Still slow, but much louder, and hot enough to cook eggs!
